Great location, fantastic service and the food is always great. We had the bone in filet and crab legs which are as good as any steakhouse. The mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese off the hook. Amazing suggestion for dessert. The energy is always good and the people watching is fun. A great place for a date, business or your birthday!

We are becoming regulars here at BOA. I absolutely love the food and the service is always amazing. The only issue is that this time, we were sat next to two large parties, and given that we were celebrating Valentine's, it did put a damper on the vibe. Next time, I will request a quiet table.

It was very elegant and classy. But at the same time you can bring young kids to this environment and still get simple food for them! The staff was amazing and the food was spectacular I will definitely be going back.

Everything was great! Staff was very attentive! The only downfall was the couple two tables down that caused a scene and used vulgar language as she made her exit. Aside from that I will continue to be a customer at your establishment.

We hadden't been to BOA for a little over a year. We have been going there since it opened. When we walked in we were immediately seated. We had a fantastic waitress and the service was excellent. I had to send my steak back as I am unusual in that I like it a little more than just medium. This change took less than 5 minutes. We had our favorite salad, BLT, which is a meal in itself. The onion strings were perfect. The Brussels sprouts were good but lacked something.We did not have dessert as we were stuffed even though we only ate half of the steak, however, it was still great the next day for dinner. All I can say is that we know what we are getting at BOA and it is consistently excellent.

Th e food was fresh, beautifully presented and of course delicious. One of the best filets I've ever tasted. The onion soup was marvelous and served steaming hot. The entire experience was just lovely.

Both the filet and the flatiron steaks were delicious! The bernaise was not great and we enjoy our homemade recipe of this better. The creamed spinach and grilled asparagus were cooked perfectly and very tasty!

Boa's cuisine was quality, the taste, the presentation the ingredients all made it a great dining experience. To accompany the cuisine is a staff that is extremely professional, personable and attentive.

We have eaten here several times, and decided to come back for husband's birthday celebration. On the positive side, the staff were all excellent. Service, and attention to our needs was superb. We asked for a quiet spot and were seated on the patio which was indeed quiet (e.g. we could hear each other speak) while we were there. My drink was excellent, a blackberry -sour-ish cocktail and husbands's filet mignon was delicious. However, my piece of Chilean seabass was sadly undercooked, and a bit bland. This is a steakhouse, so maybe that's an excuse for my mediocre fish dish, but they charge $44 for this piece of fish, so I was expecting something better. Sides are extra: mashed potatoes were great, but the smashed broccoli was a bit boring--$13 each. For the amount of money we spent, I can think of a dozen other Santa Monica places with better food for less money. But, if you want to see the sunset, and if you love steaks, and are celebrating a special occasion (they do have "special-occasion-sparklers" that are fun) then visit BOA.
